A good instance of looking for disruption to RSQB...in real time, the ball handler suddenly deviated from his line and lost his balance(and hit the hardwood immediately thereafter)...guessing that the defender caused it is going to be right 90% of the time. Call the foul. Doubt anyone other than a real hard-head coach is going to dispute it.

I agree with those saying 100% foul, but not with those that don't understand how it wasn't called - I doubt anyone was POSITIVE of a foul without looking at the play more than once and likely slowed down.

Well the defender should not be in that situation so calling the foul is OK by me. But looking at the video I can see a case for not calling a foul. Real time this is probably an easy call.

Peace

There are two fouls here.

One on the defensive player.

And one to someone who thinks this isn't a foul.
